Acting Pittsburgh police Chief Regina McDonald says an officer likely violated policy by shooting at a moving vehicle whose driver didn't fire at police — but says the shooting may still have been justified.
The shooting stemmed from the arrest of 26-year-old D.L. Timothy Fullum about 2:15 a.m. Sunday.
That's when police say Fullum hit a pedestrian with his car, then two other people in a valet parking area.
Police initially reported that Fullum fired a gun as he drove away, but now believe witnesses heard Officer Brendan Nee shooting at the vehicle.
Police say a gun found in Fullum's car may have been brandished but not fired.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Fullum, who remained jailed Tuesday.
A wounded passenger remained in critical condition.
